New Delhi, May 11 (NationPress) The Pakistan Army reportedly suffered losses amounting to 35-40 personnel between May 7-10, as India executed retaliatory counterstrikes in response to their provocations. This information was disclosed during a special press briefing by the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, on Sunday.

He elaborated that Operation Sindoor was initiated with a definitive military objective aimed at punishing those responsible for terrorism and dismantling their supporting infrastructure.

"Our mission on May 7 was to focus on terrorists and their associated infrastructure, deliberately avoiding any impact on civilian or military facilities in Pakistan, which we achieved with remarkable accuracy. However, that evening, we faced an influx of Pakistani UAVs and small drones targeting our civilian and military positions. Fortunately, these threats were effectively intercepted. Although three drones made landfall, their damage was negligible," he reported.

“During the night of May 8-9, incursions by Pakistani drones and aircraft into our airspace were reported across the borders, yet their attempts to strike military establishments largely failed. Additionally, Pakistan resumed violations along the Line of Control (LoC), leading to intense confrontations,” the Army explained.

Air Marshal AK Bharti stated that India targeted Pakistani airbases, command centers, military assets, and air defense systems along the entire Western Front in a well-coordinated and precise operation.

“The locations struck included Chaklala, Rafiqui, and Rahim Yar Khan, sending a clear message that aggression will not be tolerated. This was followed by precise strikes on Sargodha, Bhulari, and Jacobabad,” he highlighted.

He remarked that the focus was not on tallying casualties but on neutralizing terror targets.

“Our goal was not to inflict casualties, but if they occurred, it is for them to assess. Our responsibility is to engage the target, not to tally the body bags,” he concluded.
